We present a detailed analysis of high-resolution spectropolarimetric observations of the weak-line T Tauri stars (wTTSs) TWA 9A and V1095 Sco as part of a wider sur- vey of magnetic properties and activity in weak-line T Tauri stars, called MaTYSSE (Magnetic Topologies of Young Stars and the Survival of close-in giant Exoplanets). Our targets have similar masses but differing ages which span the stage of radiative core formation in solar-mass stars. We use the intensity line profiles to reconstruct surface brightness maps for both stars. The reconstructed brightness maps for TWA 9A and V1095 Sco were used to model and subtract the activity-induced jitter, reducing the RMS in the radial velocity measurements of TWA 9A by a factor of $\sim$7, and for V1095 Sco by a factor of $\sim$3. We detect significant circular polarisation for both stars, but only acquired a high quality circular polarisation time-series for TWA 9A. Our reconstructed large-scale magnetic field distribution of TWA 9A indicates a strong, non-axisymmetric field. We also analyse the chromospheric activity of both stars by investigating their H$α$ emission, finding excess blue-ward emission for most observations of V1095 Sco, and symmetric, double-peaked emission for TWA 9A, with enhanced emission at one epoch likely indicating a flaring event.
Accretion Kinematics in the T Tauri Binary TWA 3A: Evidence for Preferential Accretion onto the TWA 3A Primary
我们提出的时间序列,高分辨率的光学光谱的偏心金牛座T二进制TWA 3A。我们的分析侧重于吸积跟踪发射线H α和He I 5876A的强度和结构的变化。我们发现发射线强度显示出与时间序列测光相同的轨道相位相关行为,即近星点通道附近的吸积爆发。这样的爆发是在很好的协议与年轻的偏心双星的数值模拟。在吸积爆发期间,He I 5876A的辐射始终追踪主星的速度。在删除系统的色球发射模型后,我们发现主星通常会发射约70%的He I吸积通量。我们解释这一结果作为证据的环二吸积流,优先饲料TWA 3A主要。这一发现与大多数数值模拟相反,后者预测次级应该是双星系统中占主导地位的吸积体。我们的研究结果可能是一致的一个模型中,一个偏心的circumbinary磁盘间隙的进动之间交替优先供应质量的主要和次要的。
Detection of Strong Millimeter Emission from the Circumstellar Dust Disk Around V1094 Sco: Cold and Massive Disk around a T Tauri Star in a Quiescent Accretion Phase?
我们目前的发现,一个冷的大规模尘埃盘周围的金牛座T星V1094斯科在狼疮分子云从1.1毫米连续观测与阿兹TEC的ASTE。一个紧凑的($r\lesssim$ 320 AU)连续发射符合恒星的位置具有272毫焦耳的通量密度,这是最大的金牛座T星在狼。我们还介绍了在$^{12}$ CO J=3- 2和$^{13}$ CO J=3- 2的五点观测中发现的与恒星有关的分子气体。由于我们对$^{12}$ CO和$^{13}$ CO的观测没有显示出任何大规模外流或大质量包层的迹象,致密的尘埃排放很可能来自恒星周围的盘。观测到的V1094 Sco的SED没有显示出从近红外到毫米波长的明显转换,这可以很好地用尘埃成分的扁平盘来描述,并且在10 $\micron$附近没有明显的倾角特征,表明盘中没有内孔。我们适合一个简单的幂律磁盘模型所观察到的SED。估计的盘质量范围从0.03到$\gtrsim$ 0.12 $M_\sun$,这是一个或两个数量级以上的中位数盘质量的金牛座金牛座T星。
